Goodwin

1st July 2012

SALT OPTICS

For anyone who loves an aviator and hasn’t got a new one for the Summer, here’s a super choice. The refined Windsor-rim Goodwin is from the American label Salt Optics, a brand that we would love to see more of in Europe. Inspired by the 1920s and 30s, this strong shape has been given a lovely interpretation, using gold titanium combined with a white acetate rim. The brown gradient polarized lenses ensure tip-top protection from harmful UV rays. Handmade in Japan. www.saltoptics.com CN

This is an unusual frame by Burberry, featuring hand-stitched leather cord through the acetate frame and temples.

They are also jubilant about the re-launch this stunning frame in Beta Titanium. It’s very 1950’s, with a coquettish cat eye shape, and a charmingly sly cut-out curve.

Silverstone

1st March 2012

Mileage by Alain Mikli

We haven’t yet reviewed many Mikli styles here, so we were pleased to get news on this new aviator collection, Mileage, which reworks and revamps the classic shape. Mikli’s idea is to work on a concept like that of denim jeans, which come in all shapes and styles to suit absolutely everyone….Mileage has therefore been created as a collection based on the classic aviator shape, but offering all sorts of interpretations with 8 styles in 50 colours, and both sun and optical versions. The style pictured – Silverstone – has a circular opening at the bridge which gives its unique appearance. This is the style that particularly stood out for me; it also comes in a version with 24 karat gold plated lenses (model Sakhir). www.mikli.com CN
